Kerry: Two rival Libyan governments ready to agree
US Secretary of State John Kerry says the majority of Libyan factions are ready to sign an agreement on a united government.
Libyan factions sign deal to form unity government
Libya's warring factions have signed a UN-brokered deal to form a national government, in a move that western leaders hope will help in the fight against so-called Islamic State.
Four years after the fall of dictator Gaddafi, Libya remains deeply split with two rival governments - a self-declared one in Tripoli and an internationally recognised one in the east of the country.
Despite the signing, the heads of both rival parliaments and factions in both camps have rejected the agreement outright.
